course
The Unstrut-Werra cycle path begins on the Werratal cycle path near Heldra in Hesse between the Thuringian towns of Großburschla and Treffurt and runs to Mühlhausen for around 30 kilometers on the route of the Mühlhausen - Treffurt railway line ( Vogteier Bimmelbahn ). In Mühlhausen the Unstrut cycle path is reached for the first time after 32 km .
Behind Mühlhausen, the cycle path runs along the route of the Mühlhausen - Ebeleben railway line , leaving out Schlotheim . In the further course the route of the Hohenebra-Ebelebener railway is used for a short time before the route finally leads via Gundersleben , Hohenebra and Oberspier to Sondershausen .
From there to Bad Frankenhausen , the Unstrut-Werra cycle path runs along the route of the Kyffhäuserbahn , from Bad Frankenhausen you can reach the Unstrut cycle path via Oldisleben at Heldrungen station. Finally, the cycle path leads via Esperstadt and Ringleben to Schönfeld bei Artern , where it reaches the Unstrut cycle path again.
expansion
The cycle path leads largely over former railway lines, which means that the height differences are kept within limits, and is paved throughout. However, some stretches of the route have considerable inclines, which means that the cycle path is not suitable for wheelchair users.
